The only reason would be on the first paper of a grad student so they learn the errors they do (I just saw today the same word spelled incorrectly a bunch of times)

It's even the case for US faculty, the University salary typically doesn't cover summer (although it's typically covered by grants)

Well not really, if I understand they get the manuscript at different stages (from early draft to final submission)

My recent comparison points are Sweden, Spain (really solid too but only took an international line), Switzerland (nice and smooth but left a kidney), and the terrible two France and Germany

No rule of thumb, this is a stupid part of academia and an artificial exercise. A good rule would be you can list different (more) contributions in the intro of the journal version

You're right it's not just a DOI problem, it's about what is indexed. I understand the choice of ORCID to reference reviewed material only, but this means it's a role different from showcasing a research profile as GScholar is used

Fair point but I don't think that's the case, ORCID receives data through DOIs which only a subset of conferences has. For journals, that means one needs to wait until the end of the review process to see them on a profile, quite hard for the visibility of junior scholars

Oh indeed thanks that's super misleading!

Follow-up thought: should academia build and fund a g-scholar like system? We have arXiv and likes so a search engine shouldn't be impossible?

Luckily I don't need it as bad as others career-wise, but with bibliometric-centered recruitment and promotion systems, some people will pay this arbitrary decision :/
